An emotional King waxed candid when Roberts tactfully broached the topic of Ian Alexander Jr.’s death.

Admitting she is now a “different person now” she continued:

“Grief is a journey. I understand that grief is love that has no place to go. And that we all handle it differently.”

The full interview airs Thursday and will see King also talk her new movie, ‘Shirley’ – which she has also dedicated to her son.
